The Island of Logic

I guess you didn’t get the support from Sara Palin that you were looking for. Oh well, I guess we can’t all get what we want. I really thought Sara would go for this one though, but I guess not. Better luck next time. Maybe Glenn and Sara just like to see you guys dance like a squirrel on a power cord as much as I do.

Harvard law professor Larry Tribe wrote the following letter to his protégé, President Barack Obama, shortly after Justice Souter’s announced that he would retire from the Supreme Court. In the following exerpt from that letter he is writing about Obama’s potential nomination of Sonia Sotomayor as Souter’s replacement.

Bluntly put, she’s not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is, and her reputation for being something of a bully could well make her liberal impulses backfire and simply add to the fire power of the Roberts/Alito/Scalia/Thomas wing of the Court on issues like those involved in the voting rights case argued last week and the Title VII case of the New Haven firefighters argued earlier, issues on which Kennedy will probably vote with Roberts despite Souter’s influence but on which I don’t regard Kennedy as a lost cause for the decade or so that he is likely to remain on the Court.

Below is the full letter.

Finally evidence of what I have always known.

According to scientists at UC San Diego and Harvard University, “ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4.”

I think we should start pursuing the cure immediately, now that we have found the cause. I have a few suggestions as some therapeutic methods to provide relief to the symptoms. Get a job, read the Bible, go to Church, listen to Rush Limbaugh from noon to 3 Eastern, Read Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. If these methods provide no relief to the symptoms and the infected victim still has a desire to watch Keith Overbite, believes Robert Fibbs, worships Obama, reads Das Kapital and Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals then more aggressive methods need to be employed. First, you should start by water boarding the victim, now this hasn’t been shown to help at all with the symptoms but it does promise to be very pleasurable for the one administering the therapy. Second, ship the victim to Venezuela or France.

Alex Sink not only cheated during the debate she lied about it afterward. Liberals lie and cheat and do anything they can to win elections, because winning after all is more important than honesty and integrity.

Media Matters imploring to Sara Palin to stop and shut up Glenn Beck?!?! It amazes me how the left constantly wants to just eliminate opposition voices instead of addressing what they are saying. When has any Conservative asked to have Keith Olbermann taken off the air? You will never hear of us on the right demanding voices on the left be removed, instead we address their rhetoric with logic and just laugh at them. Frankly, they provide a lot of comedy relief for me personally. I support idiots like Keith Olbermann’s Freedom of Speech. I support Juan Williams and don’t believe that he should have been fired from NPR. When is Media Matters going to figure out they don’t matter?

I know many of you out there are going to think this is satire, but the Onion is one of those news organizations that is on the cutting edge of the media and they are actively getting the inside story of what really goes on in the chambers of our government representatives. This is beyond the pale and is just another example of government overreaching their power. :)
